EHS 4D: Digital Digest

We admit Friday 13th might not be the best day to launch, well anything really. However here at EHS 4D we’re not afraid of some silly superstition, so today sees the launch of our first Digital Digest. Every week we will round up some of the most interesting digital content from the week gone by. Some topical, some thought provoking and some stuff we just think’s pretty darn cool. So without further ado let the Digital Digest Commence……..

Awesome analogue version of an arcade game

We’re obliged to start with something that’s just darn cool and this is it. The wonderful guys at Sputnic have created RACER, an analogue recreation of a computer racing game. The project needs some help to continue so if you really like it you can donate here.

Do we still really need websites?

Controversial but definitely worth a read, don’t panic it turns out we do still need them phew!

This week we’ve mainly been loving this site…………..Moo We Love To Print

A great example of a beautiful ecommerce site and brilliant UX design.

This week we’ve mainly been listening to……………….Arcade Fire, ‘The Suburbs’

I’ve been dubious about listening to this as Neon Bible is up there with my top 5 albums of all time. However Arcade Fire’s new album ‘The Suburbs’ is quite simply awesome. Mike Driver from the BBC describes it as “A complex, captivating work that retains its magic and mystery several plays later.” His review is worth a look.
